Missing the print



That's Not My Age can't wait till it gets cooler and I can start wearing 'the beast' again:



But in the meantime, I need a little animal to liven up my pared-down life. So I've been thinking about accessories, and wondering whether or not there's room in my wardrobe for a pair of eye-catching desert boots?



When it comes to animal print, a little goes a long way (read my rules for living with leopard here) so I'd wear them with slim black trousers, faded jeans or Jane Birkin-style khakis and a simple black blazer.


What do you think? Are they spot on or a print too far?

I wouldn't wear that shape of boot, I like more girlie footwear but I still love them and your "beast"!

I've got zebra peep-toe heels and leopard ballet-type flats but if I saw those Clarks, I know I couldn't resist. And I'd follow your styling suggestions to a T. . .

I love them to bits. Great shoes always make an otherwise pared down outfit interesting.

I absolutely love your coat!! Where's it from? I wish I could wear leopard print but it doesn't suit me so I just do accents.

I like the boots too, I think you should get them, they're fun and they'll jazz up a pair of jeans xx

Great coat. It almost would make me not mind the cold as much. Almost!

Coté Provence said...

Thanks for all your comments. The Clarks' leopard print desert boots are spot on - it's unanimous!

I saw a fab leopard print coat in TK Maxx yesterday, having just bought a blue military style one, I had to tear myself away, but it keeps coming back..

Leopard prints are a bit too exotic for my geographical position. The shoes look comfortable to wear though!

Madame DeFarge said...

I love those boots. Wear and be proud!

Love The Beast. I bought a hip length 50s fur coat with 3/4 sleeves several years ago -- for those days when I need a Dr Zhivago/Royal Tennenbaums moment.
